Development

Long term plans for this rapidly expanding port involve the construction of more specialised berths to handle cargoes of grain and oil, further container facilities and a ship-repair yard.

 

The port has been participating in the Grain Initiative, but like other Ukrainian ports of the Black Sea, it has been blocked by the Russian navy in 2023 and its operations stopped.
